2 Crisis of municipal welfare system Weakened as a result of the 2008 financial crisis, but also of the lack of growth Opportunity for enlarging the role of citizens in service provision egovernment action plan : Facilitating digital interaction between administrations and citizens/ businesses, centred on citizen engagement: get involved in designing/delivering new services: make it together. User-centricity principles: That digital means are used to empower citizens and businesses to voice the views, allowing policy makers to collect new ideas, involve citizens more in the creation of public services and provide better public services'.

4 Internet of money Thanks to blockchain technologies on mobile devices daily we will exchange not only chryptocurrencies but also other kinds of programmable entities (tokens) With a simple browser for blockchain we will not only navigate but also create, own and exchange tokens. Exactly like it happens nowadays with multimedia information on the Web Open system like the Web Intelligent tokens via smartcontracts

5 Internet of money for the sustainability of urban commons Using a single wallet/browser blockchain on mobile devices we will daily exchange not only chryptocurrencies but also: Coupons Group buying Fidelity points Crowdfunding Digital collectibles Access rights to data Sharing rights Local currency (sort of)

6 Blockchain + Territory Blockchain: Transactional technology that will enable: Internalization of positive externalities Propagation of positive externalities on the territory Tokenization of values that cannot be exchanged in other ways
